Using Different Versions of pip If you have installed Python2 and Python3 on your computer, you should be able to use pip2 and pip3 in addition to using the pip command. Pip can be set up to work on either Python2 or Python3 on one machine. It will not work with both.
We can see that pip is just a soft link to the current active Python version and related pip command. But the Python3 becomes the default Python version for most of the Linux distributions the pip and pip3 refer to the same command and executable these days.
You have to use pip3 for it to be installed on Python3. So to install packages in python3, you should use pip3. NOTE:- Its not necessary that pip will install in python 2.7, if python2 is absent then pip will do it in python3. The above statement was if you have both the version of python installed.
We can solve this error by Providing the right permissions to the file using chown or chmod commands and also ensuring Python is running in the elevated mode permission .
just install them using --user option which install the package only for the current user and not for all
pip install xxxxxx --user You need to use sudo to install globally or have permissions to write to the folder. Or as @Alasdair commented using a virtualenv is a better option.
